Match Summary Both sides fielded attacking line-ups and had scoring opportunities in the first half, and Dundee United had a penalty claim turned down in the 11th minute, but the match remained goalless at halftime. The only goal of the game eventually came two minutes into the second half. Rangers' goalkeeper Ally Maxwell saw his attempt at a clearance come off Dundee United's Christian Dailly who was then able to shoot towards the goal. His shot hit the post, but his team mate Craig Brewster was on hand to score. Rangers strove for an equalizer, their closest effort being an Alexei Mikhailichenko shot that was superbly saved by United's Guido van de Kamp, but they were ultimately unable to break down Dundee United's defence.Potter David Jones Phil H The History of the Scottish Cup.

As this was only partly completed its capacity was reduced. Consequently, only 38,000 tickets for the final were available (with Rangers being given 19,000 and Dundee United being allocated 12,000 and the rest going to sponsors and other clubs).Watson Mike Watson Matthew The Tannadice Encyclopedia.

Authors Mike Watson and Matthew Watson suggested that the bulk of the apparent 550 non-attenders were probably drawn from tickets issued to sponsors.
